- Diet blog reports on a study which found overweight adults who were instructed to focus on lower-calorie foods lost more weight than those who were simply told to cut their overall calories. It’s about focussing on what you can eat, rather than what you can’t.
Vanesscipes posts a gorgeous apple walnut salad with rhubarb compote dressing, inspired by Barbara Kingsolver’s new book – Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.No longer available- There’s been a wonderfully vibrant, impassioned and smart debate over at Jewcy on the ethics of veganism. Entitled, Can the Ethical Person Eat Meat_, the dialogue between Charles Eisenstein and Isa Chandra Moskowitz starts herekilling.
- Over at Guardian Unlimited I found this article It’s okay to eat off the floor, right? – a guide for new parents on how (NOT) to eat.
- And Courtney Martin comes out swinging in an angry polemic against the diet industry: separating fact from fiction in the age of obesity.

oh wow! thanks for pointing out that dialoge between Isa and Charles Eisenstein. a juicy read to say the least. Many of Eisenstein’s points are also made by Kingsolver in Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.
Thanks Vanessa, I’ve started the Kingsolver book (and yes, I’m loving it). I’ve read another of hers called Small Wonders – a series of essays, many of which are about food.
